"Report - the lord of the mansion, the big thing is not good, Liangshanbo once again raised troops to violate the boundary, less than twenty miles away from Zengtou City."

Elder Zeng's eyelids were jumping suddenly, and when he heard the panicked voice of the spy, he jumped up in fright, his eyelids stopped jumping, but his heart was beating surprisingly fast.

"What's the panic? Since the ancient soldiers came to block, the water came to cover the earth, I am afraid that he will do something! ”

Zeng Rong pretended to be calm and asked, "How many thieves do you estimate?" ”

"The ranks of the thieves are boundless, and the small ones are roughly estimated to be 10,000······ No, maybe twenty thousand. ”

The fear of the spies was contagious, and immediately he felt convulsions all over his body, these evil stars are not good, this time it must be a bloody battle. He suddenly regretted that he had a bad relationship with Liang Shanbo, if it wasn't for the killing of Chao Gai with a meter, there would be room for relaxation, and now he had to fight to the end.

"Let's find out! Be sure to find out the number of thieves. ”

After the spies left, Zeng Lang pondered for a long time and said, "Teacher of the history of speed! ”

How good is that?

Shi Wengong was quite worried. Liangshanbo poured out, and the army was about to arrive in Zengtou City. This time, it was the mourning army, saying that he was here to take revenge, but in fact, he was here to fight hard, and he immediately convened the generals to discuss countermeasures.

Because the eldest brother was killed by Lin Chong, the four sons of the Zeng family shared the same hatred and vowed to fight with the Liangshan Bo people to the end. Zeng Kui swore and said: "Come one to kill one, come two to kill a pair, come and kill if you come, and avenge the eldest brother!" ”

Shi Wengong said: "The thieves are pouring out, and the troops are surpassing us, and the sons must not act rashly!" Now we are mainly defending, the five villages are each other's horns, relying on each other, the thieves are afraid, they will not dare to do their best, we are looking for opportunities to counterattack in the defense. In addition, the thief has a long distance and the transportation of grain and grass is inconvenient, he can't afford to spend time, and he will refuse him for several months, and he will definitely return in vain! The generals must obey the orders of the generals and must not fight privately! ”

Originally, he wanted Zeng Tu to illustrate the consequences of not obeying orders, but he was afraid of causing public anger, so he swallowed the words again. At this time, Zeng Lang issued a strict order, everything was at the disposal of Shi Wengong, and those who violated the order were engaged in military law, and everyone stopped making noise.

Song Jiang brought far more men and horses this time than last time, the leader of Liang Shanbo who fought last time led 5,000 soldiers, and the three regiments of Qingfeng Mountain, light and heavy weapons, and the medical team, which was more than enough to destroy Zengtou City.

The next day, the army gathered outside Zengtou City, and the scouts of Qingfeng Mountain continued to reconnoiter the military deployment of Zengtou City. Song Jiang set up a temporary command group in the army, which was composed of Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and Wen Huanzhang, with Song Jiang as the leader.

Song Jiang pointed to the military deployment map of Zengtou City drawn by the scouts, and said with a smile: "Shi Wengong made Zengtou City into a turtle, thinking that he could be invincible by supporting each other. How do the two military advisors attack? ”

Wu Yong said: "Now that my army is stronger than him, why don't you divide your troops into five ways to attack and make him difficult to take care of." ”

Wen Huanzhang said: "Wu Junshi's words are reasonable, but the war involves living beings, so it is better to be cautious. Divided into five routes, the enemy is difficult to take care of, how can we not be everywhere. As the saying goes: 'It is better to cut off one of its ten fingers than to hurt it.'" 'As Wen has seen, if he concentrates his forces and annihilates one of his villages, the enemy will be in turmoil. ”

After hearing this, Song Jiang said: "It's all a good strategy, but we have to exchange the smallest casualties for the greatest victory." ”

Song Jiang pointed to the front village on the map and said, "I don't think it is better for us to cut off his turtle first, and then wave his troops straight into his heart." ”

He pointed to Zhongzhai and said: "Here we deploy a defensive line, only defend and not attack, and divide the troops into two ways,"

He pointed to the left and right villages and said: "Directly eat the two feet of the turtle, enclose the tail and heart, what other barrier does he have!" ”

Wu Wen and the others nodded in praise, and Song Jiang said: "When beheading the turtle, send two other teams to feint on his two feet, so that he can't free up reinforcements, and at the same time order all the cavalry to prepare to intercept all possible reinforcements." ”

After getting the strategy and having no objections, Song Jiang said: "You discuss the specific details with the generals, the heavy artillery of Qingfeng Mountain will blow up their turtle heads, and they must be beaten in the first battle, and they will be terrified, take the heads of the Zeng family and pay tribute to the dead of Brother Chao Gai!" ”

The two were ordered to make specific arrangements.

The next day, Shi Wengong kept receiving reports of military information: Zhu Tong, the beautiful bearded prince of Liangshan, led the army to prepare to attack Qianzhai, Lin Chong, the leopard head of Liangshanbo, led the army to prepare to attack Zuozhai, and a fat monk led the army to prepare to attack Youzhai.

Shi Wengong and Elder Zeng analyzed: "It is impossible for the thieves to bloom more, their target is the front village, and the left and right villages are just a disguise." ”

Shi Wengong ordered: "Strictly order all villages to hold on and wait for reinforcements!" ”

After speaking, he said to Zeng Sheng: "You immediately reorganize the soldiers and horses and prepare to support the Qianzhai." ”

Then he said to the herald: "Let Zeng Suo of the back village send some soldiers and horses to the front village to support as soon as possible!" ”

The ten heavy guns pulled by Qingfeng Mountain were all used to attack the front village, and some of the light artillery were used for the feint attack on the left and right villages. When the specified time arrived, the artillery fire was immediately continuous, and all the protection of the front village was like a fictitious one, and the gate and wall of the village had already been shattered under the bombardment of heavy artillery. As soon as the cannon stopped, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng led two thousand soldiers from Liangshanbo into the front village to chop melons and vegetables.

Originally, he was going to put Shi Jin's regiment on this attack, but Zhu Tong and Lei Heng strongly demanded the main attack, saying that the leader of Liangshanbo died in Zengtou City, and the first battle must be attacked by Liangshanbo soldiers, otherwise I am sorry for Chao Tianwang's spirit in the sky, Shi Jin could not fight with him, so he gave way to Zhu Tong and Lei Heng.

The former village was in danger, Zeng Kui tried his best to resist, but the army was defeated like a mountain, and the soldiers were no longer stable by killing a few. He anxiously waited for reinforcements, but there was no news of the reinforcements, and he cursed Shi Wengong while preparing to escape.

He was just about to urge the horse to escape, but when he saw a man with a flowing beard in front of him, he immediately blocked the horizontal knife in front of him and said angrily: "Zeng Kui, take your life!" ”

Zeng Kui said with a smile: "If you have the ability, just come and take it, see how Fourth Master Zeng takes your life!" ”

After saying that, the gunfight was together. The two of them were opponents, and they were in the middle of the fight, and a thunderous voice sounded behind them: "Brother Zhu is entangled in this guy, Lei Heng is here to help you!" ”

Zeng Kui saw that there was another person, and he expected to be defeated, so he wanted to take the time to escape, but he was tightly entangled by Zhu Tong. The two men fought and walked, urging their horses to leap over a deep ditch, and then fighting together.

Zeng Kui's heart was a little relaxed, such a deep ditch, Lei Heng is a step general, and people will never be able to jump, and now he will not suffer a loss one-on-one, not to mention using his head to make up for the loss.

In the middle of the fight, Zeng Kui suddenly fell off his horse and fell to the ground on his back, he looked at the scene in front of him like a ghost, his eyes widened and he didn't believe that this was the truth. Lei Heng actually jumped over the deep ditch, and at the same time split his horse in two, Zeng Kui, who was still in shock, did not feel any pain, and his head was cut off by Zhu Tong.

Before he died, Zeng Kui regretted it very much: "If there is an afterlife, I must believe that sometimes people jump farther than horses!" ”

However, the question that kept him blind was: "How did he jump over?" ”

Shi Wen was in a hurry, and the reinforcements were intercepted halfway several times, and now Zeng Sheng has been defeated and retreated. Zeng Shengdao: "Liangshanbo's soldiers and horses used a kind of long-range crossbow arrows, and we were shot dead without even seeing their faces clearly, and they were all cavalry, densely packed with thousands, and we couldn't get through at all." ”

Elder Zeng hurriedly asked, "How is the battle situation in Qianzhai?" How is Zeng Kui? ”

Zeng Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, teacher, you have to find a way to save the fourth brother!" ”

Zeng Sheng almost cried, Shi Wengong had no idea, he said: "Order soldiers, we will go and save them personally!" ”

After speaking, he led people to rescue the former village in a hurry, just walked not far, and only then did he know that the defeated soldiers knew that the front village was also lost, Zeng Kui was killed, and he went in vain, and the tunnel collected the defeated soldiers and returned to the camp.

Zeng Kui's head was placed under Chao Gai's spiritual seat, and Song Jiang and Liang Shanbo knelt below to pay tribute to the spirit of Chao Tianwang in the sky.

Some of the Liangshan Bo soldiers had already cried, and Song Jiang said: "King Chao does not cherish our tears, nor does he want us to use tears to mourn his soul, if it is a man, he will use blood to wash away the shame, and sacrifice the head of the enemy in front of the tablet of the king, so that the king of heaven who is far away will show a smile of relief!" ”

Immediately the crying stopped, followed by a solemn respect for Song Jiang, everyone got up and stood, looking at Song Jiang, their eyes full of trust.
